Support Coach Frank in His Time of Loss

Hello, my name is Ashlee Baker. My sons play AAU basketball for Frank Austin. It is with a very heavy heart that our beloved Coach (who dedicates a magnitude of time to better the lives of not only my boys but other youth players) has suffered a great tragedy and loss of his own son, Frank Jr. Frank Jr unexpectedly passed away on Monday, August 5th, 2024.

I am coming to you in hopes that we can rally all the troops to help Coach Frank through what I'm sure has to be the most difficult time of a parent's life with the loss of a child. Life itself is already a financial burden so we as a community are hoping to assist with the help of all of you to at least provide some financial relief to help with funeral costs and the time needed to grieve the loss of a child. So that our amazing coach doesn't have to worry as much about those things in his time of healing. Nothing we can say or do can amount to the grief I'm sure he is feeling. But we would at least like to aid in the parts that we can help with.

If you could please find it in your heart to even give a small donation, that would be great. As Frank has said, times like these you can never prepare for. Please hold your babies tight because life can be unfair and short.
